But with two home games coming up this week, the Rovers boss (right) is confident his side will not lose ground early on their promotion rivals.

Little said: "There will be very few sides next Saturday with three wins out of three. It will be a very hard league this season. I don't think there will be a great deal of difference between many of the teams in this division.

"We knew it would be a hard fought game. Anyone who writes Peterborough off is foolish.

"They are very strong and play a system that suits them.

"They don't allow you to get the ball down. I felt that if anything would give us a problem it would be their long throw-ins and they did.

"I was happy with the second-half performance. Had we defended better from that set piece the game had nil-nil written all over it.
